Microplastic (MP), an emerging pollutant, has been identified as a critical target in tackling plastic pollution. Although plethora of studies have explored MP generation from various sources, limited attention paid to processing. This study investigated (10 μm–5 mm) virgin and waste extrusion MPs at density 2.13 × 105–9.79 107 (approximately 0.01–10.85 g) were generated when processing 1 t plastic. Feedstock polymer types, pelletizing techniques found influence the process. With moderate weight (270.58–527.34 t) but enormous amount (1.34 1016–2.63 1016) globally 2022, is underestimated vital source MPs, emphasizing need for inspection appropriate removal technologies industry, especially water ring pelletizing. Further simulation indicated that up 84.35% could be removed using commonly available materials facility, with higher efficiency larger-sized particles. In this regard, recycling was superior fewer generated, which facilitate should fostered.
